Sony Launches New Models from its “Walkman S Series”

by Nick

Sony updates its “Walkman S Series” with the launch of two new models, NW-S610 and NW-S710. They are both equipped with a noise cancelling function and with the Clear Audio technology from Sony. The 1.8 inch LCD screen has a high quality to watch video and see pictures. The new Walkmans can handle MP3, WMA, ATRAC and AAC audio files, and MPEG4 and H.264 video files.

They look very similar to the NWZ-S610 Walkman player we shown last week, and the main difference between the two models is that the new walkman players don’t have an FM radio tuner. The NW-S710F comes in three flavors, with 2 GB, 4 GB and 8 GB, and the NW-S610 has 2 GB or 4 GB options.

The new Walkman players will connect to your computer using the USB port, but there’s a direct encoding function that can transfer files without the need of a PC, if you have a CD player or MD player at hand, that is. The battery life is good for 33 hours of audio and an impressive 9.5 hours of video.

There are five colors for you to choose from, white, black, blue, red and pink. Find out more at Sony Japan (automatically translated by Google).
